Al Jolson sings the song that has become the anthem of the great depression.

"Don't you remember, they called me Al; it was Al all the time.
Why don't you remember, I'm your pal? Brother, can you spare a dime?"

    I have always loved Jolson. This is one of his best, and unfortunately is as pertinent today as it was when he recorded it.

    No idea. I just used an online calculator that's based on statistics I don't understand.

    Actually, $0.10 in 1931 would be about $1.66 today.

    I remember when I was a kid. That song was very sad.
